Versatile, multifunctional furnishings help to optimise the use of space to create an uncluttered and streamlined bedroom. Loh’s top picks include the Living Divani Moon bedside table by Japanese-Italian studio Mist-o, from Space Furniture. “It’s a functional and sleek bedside table that doubles as storage,” she says.

Loh also highlights the Poliform Lexington system by Jean-Marie Massaud. Flexible and practical, this pillar-based bedroom cabinetry system is composed of an assortment of customisable shelves and drawers. It also comes in various dimensions and finishes, which will allow you to incorporate it beautifully into your bedroom.

Loh also recommends the use of functional yet sleek furnishings. As beds are often the visual focus of a bedroom due to their sheer size, the designer suggests a minimalist centrepiece such as the Maxalto Lucrezia bed by Antonio Citterio, available at Space Furniture. The contemporary profile of the unit will bring a refined touch to the bedroom. 

When curating new pieces for the bedroom, the designer also advises being mindful of their proportions in comparison to the other furnishings in the same space, while looking out for pieces with tactile qualities and excellent workmanship.

Plush armchairs are vital additions to a luxurious bedroom. Loh endorses the B&B Italia Husk swivel armchair by Spanish designer Patricia Urquiola, from Space Furniture. The large chair is big on both design and comfort, featuring padded arms and immensely soft cushions with a capitonné design. The hard shell that supports the seat is made from Hirek, a sustainably produced material crafted with recycled and recyclable polymers.

Lighting is one of the most effective ways to convey an atmosphere of warmth and intimacy in your sanctuary; the best hotel rooms expertly use illumination to help set the tone for a restful ambience. 

“The quintessential elements for a luxe bedroom interior are lighting and scents,” Loh says. “(Opt for) indirect and glare-free diffused lighting, coupled with focused task lighting.” She admires the Aaro table lamp from French lighting and furniture company DCW Editions, available at Xtra and Made and Make. 

A rug within the bedroom can instantly bring a sense of cosiness while adding a tactile layer to a space. Match your rug with your room’s colour scheme, or choose a patterned design that adds visual interest to the interior. Loh is a fan of the rugs from Woodnotes, a Finnish design studio that specialises in using natural spun paper yarn to create beautiful and durable textiles; these rugs are available at P5 Studio.
